Hi,
according to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NMEnterpriseNetworking
NetworkManager should support bridging now in Fedora 17. The question is
how can I set this up? The GUI bits don't seem to be there yet but that
page also doesn't explain how this could be set up manually.
How can this be a feature of the release when it can't be used by anyone?
I note:
"NetworkManager now supports configuration of bridges, bonds, and VLANs.
Existing configurations should be managed seamlessly by NM as long as it
is allowed to do so (ie, by removing NM_CONTROLLED=no from ifcfg
files)."
So it sounds like, right now, what you can do is take an existing
bridged config, drop NM_CONTROLLED=no from the ifcfg files, enable the
NM service if necessary, and then see if NM takes over properly. It
doesn't seem to be explicitly stated, but reading between the lines, the
UI stuff isn't done yet.
